Please note that while alpacas are visually similar to llamas, linguistically they are very different and so the two have their own separate entries. You might also like to have a look at our llama pun entry. If you’re interested in other similar mammals, have a look at our entries on goat puns, horse puns, and camel puns.

We hope you have fun looking through all of our alpaca-related wordplay!

Alpaca Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about alpacas that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s our list of alpaca puns:

*-al → *-alpaca: Make some cheekily obvious puns simply by adding “paca” to any word ending in “al” or “ale” (making sure that the pronunciation suits) – “can-alpaca” (as in canal + alpaca), “chaparr-alpaca” (chaparral: a type of plant), “chor-alpaca” (as in “chorale”, a type of choir), “corr-alpaca” (corral – to herd), “mor-alpaca” (as in “morale” – “moral” doesn’t quite have a suitable rhythm for this), “Pasc-alpaca” (Pascal – French polymath and a unit of pressure), “roy-alpaca” (as in “royale” – “royal” doesn’t have as suitable a rhythm), “sh-alpalca” (as in, “I shall!”)

Apocalypse → Alpaca-lypse: As in, “Alpaca-lypse Now: (the movie), and “The Four Horsemen of the Alpaca-lypse“.

Abaca → Al-baca: Abacas are a type of banana, and very conveniently rhymes with alpaca. Make a fruity pun by being oddly specific about your bananas: “I need some al-bacas from the store!”

I’ll pack a → Alpaca: As in, “Alpaca bag!” (I’ll pack a bag)

Jury → Sury: Suri is a type of alpaca. Make a cheesy alpaca pun by blending it with the word jury: “The sury is out.” Also works for other phrases using jury – like “Judge, sury and executioner”

Missouri → Missuri: As in, “You promised that we would go to Missuri.”

Sure he → Su-ri: As in, “Make su-ri doesn’t eat too many bananas.”

Korea → Cria: The term for a baby alpaca is a “cria”, which just so happens to rhyme almost perfectly with Korea. Switch the words around for a fun alpaca pun.

*ria → *cria: You can use cria in other lame alpaca puns by adding it to the end of words that end in “ria”. Watch out for rhythm and pronunciation when making these up. Here are some for you: “Euphocria” (as in “euphoria”), “dysphocria” (from “dysphoria”), “allecria” (as in “allegria” – the Italian word for joy), “pizzecria” (from “pizzeria”), “bactecria” (as in “bacteria”), “Santecria” (as in “Santeria”, an Afro-American religion)

Embrace → H-embrace: Female alpacas are known as hembra, which fits in quite nicely to the word “embrace” like so: “My hamster routinely rejects my h-embrace.”

*ember → *hembra: You can make some great alpaca puns by replacing the end of some months with “hembra”, like “Dec-hembra” and “Novhembra”.

Remember → Remhembra: As in, “One to remhembra.” Also works for other forms of remember, like “remhembrance” (remembrance) and “remhembra-ed” (as in remembered).

Nacho → Macho: Male alpacas are known as machos. Make some cheesy puns like so: “Please get me some machos”. You can also make a pun-ception (a pun within a pun, for those who haven’t seen Inception) by replacing words that rhyme with “nacho”, like “This is macho (nacho = not your) hat. Go away now.” You can also use the phrase “Macho man” in the right context.

Chorizo → Chuarizo: A huarizo is a cross between a llama and an alpaca. Make some lame alpaca puns like so: “Wow, these vegan chuarizos are amazing.”

Pro → Peru: As in “A liberal, Peru-science atheist.”

*pro/pru* → *peru*: You can slip “Peru” into words that have the “pro” or “pru” sound in them. There are too many to list here, but I’ve provided quite a few to get you going. Don’t forget that for each word provided, there are other forms of the word (past, present, future tense, plurals) that will work as well: “Apperuve” (approve), “Apperuving” (approving), “Bulletperuf” (bulletproof), “Disperuven” (disproven), “Fireperuf” (fireproof), “Foolperuf” (foolproof), “Imperuv” (improve), “Imperudence” (imprudence), “Perucedures” (procedures), “Peruvable“, (provable), “Perude“, (prude), “Sperucing” (sprucing), “Unimperuved” (unimproved), “Waterperuf” (waterproof) and “Weatherperuf” (weatherproof).

Spit: Alpacas use spitting as a way to express generally negative feelings, and to warn others off. Use these spit-related phrases to make some great alpaca puns: “Spit and polish”, “spit and sawdust”, “spit blood”, “to spit in the eye of”, “he spit the dummy” (a temper tantrum), “spitting image” (an extremely close likeness), “spitting with rain”, “within spitting distance”, and finally, “don’t spit into the wind” (’cause it might blow it right back into your face).

Split → Spit: As in “Make like a banana and spit” and “Fifty-fifty spit” and “Spit hairs” and “Spit second” and “Spit up (with someone)” and “Lickety-spit” and “Spit your sides (laughing)”

Cud: In the right context, you could make an alpaca pun using the phrase “chewing the cud“, which means to chat aimlessly.

Could → Cud: As in “Cud you stop it please?” and “As fast as her legs cud carry her” and “I cud do it in my sleep.” Also works for “couldn’t” – as in, “I cudn’t see what the big deal was.”

Heard → Herd: As in “I overherd them speaking about …” and “The last I herd, …” and “You herd it here first.” and “You could have herd a pin drop.” and “Stop me if you’ve herd this one”

Hay: Since a large part of alpacas’ diet is hay, you can make some alpaca puns using these hay-related phrases: “Go haywire”, “Time to hit the hay“, “Like looking for a needle in a haystack”, “Make hay” (an idiom which advises to take advantage of opportunities), “Make hay while the sun shines” (to act while you can, or while a situation is still in your favour), and “To roll in the hay“.

Hey → Hay: As in “Hay, what’s up?” and “Hay there, friend.”

Go to sleep → Hit the hay: As in “It’s late. I better hit the hay.”

Grass: Here are some grass-related phrases to help you with your corny wordplay: “As exciting as watching grass grow”, “Don’t walk on the grass“, “grass roots” (a term for organised local movements; usually social or political), “a snake in the grass” (referring to a hidden enemy), “the grass is greener on the other side”, and my personal favourite, “your arse/ass is grass!”

Field: “I’m an expert in my field.”

Passed/Past your → Pasture: As in “It’s just pasture house on the left.” and “I pasture stall at the fair today but you weren’t there.” and “It’s pasture bedtime.”

Wool: To start us off, here are some phrases containing the word “wool”, which you can use to make your own alpaca puns in the right situation: “Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?” and “Dyed in the wool” (which refers to someone who is very steadfast and set in their ways), “pull the woolover someone’s eyes”, and “woolly thinking”.

Will → Wool: As in “Against my wool” and “Accidents wool happen” and “Time wool tell” and “Every dog wool have its day” and “Heads wool roll” and “Love wool find a way” and “My grandmother left it for me in her wool” and “There wool be hell to pay!” and “I wool stop at nothing” and “It wool be the death of me” and “Whatever wool be, wool be.”

Well → Wool: As in “Alive and wool” and “Fare thee wool” and “(To be) wool versed (in something)” and “I hope all goes wool” and “May as wool” and “Jolly-wool” and “The point is wool-taken” and “That’s all wool and good, but …” and “All’s wool and ends wool” and “You know full wool that …” and “Might as wool”

Wall → Wool: As in “A fly on the wool” and “A hole in the wool” and “Bang (one’s) head against a wool” and “Break the fourth wool” and “Drive up the wool” and “Off the wool” and “The writing is on the wool” and “Wool Street” and “Wool-to-wool” and “My back is to the wool” and “Wool of death”

While → Wool: As in “It was fun wool it lasted” and “Quit wool you’re ahead” and “Not worthwool” and “Every once in a wool”

Man you’re → Manure: As in “Manure making some awful alpaca puns today.”

Withers → Withers: Withers is a homophone, meaning either the ridge between the shoulder blades of certain animals, or to shrivel. Swap the use and meaning of this word around to make a cheesy alpaca pun in the right context.

Whither → Wither: As in, “Wither are we bound?” (Note: Withers refers to the ridge between the shoulder blades of certain animals).

Remnent → Ruminant: As in “I haven’t a ruminant of pride left after making all these terrible camel puns.” (A “ruminant” is a family of hooved mammals comprising cows, camels, sheep, deer, giraffe and their relatives)

Prominent → Pruminant: As in “She’s a pruminant member of our group.” (Note: A ruminant is a family of hooved mammals).

Permanent → Pruminant: As in “I’ve accidentally used pruminant marker on the whiteboard.” (Note: A ruminant is a family of hooved mammals).

Camel Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about camels that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s our list of camel puns:

Camel: To start, here are a couple of sayings involving camels which may serve as punny camel witticisms in the right context: “Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel,” and “A camel through the eye of a needle”.

Camembert → Camelbert: Camembert is a type of soft cheese from France, which now has some great non-dairy soy options. You can use this similar sounding word to make a cheesy camel pun: “My favourite cheese is soy camelbert.”

Bechamel → Be-camel: A creamy white sauce, used in pasta and traditionally made from a butter base – but today coming in great vegan varieties. Use this to make some sneaky camel puns: “I can’t believe this be-camel is non-dairy!”

Calf: Calf can mean either a young camel or the lower part of a leg. You can use these double meanings to replace these words in inappropriate (or very appropriate, as the case may be) ways to make your own camel puns. Also works for the plural, “calves”, which is the same spelling for both.

Cuffs → Calf: As in, “Those hoodlums are engaged in fisticalfs!! (fisticuffs)” and “Get these handcalfs (handcuffs) off me!” and “These calf-links (cuff-links) are exquisite.”

Half → Calf: As in “I’m still calf asleep” and “I’ve got calf a mind to …” and “Calf measures”, “Ain’t calf bad”, “Better calf“, “Cheap at calf the price”, Getting there is calf the fun”, Calf a chance”, “Calf alive”, “Calf assed”, “Calf a mind to”, and “Calfway to paradise”.

Scarf → S-calf: As in, “That is an unbelievably soft s-calf (scarf)” or “Wow, he is really s-calfing (scarfing) that burrito.”

Desert: Here are a few phrases that use the word “desert/s” in them, which you can use to sneak in a few opportune dromedary puns: “Just deserts” (instead of “just desserts”) and “Ships of the desert“.

Palindrome → Palin-dromedary: Dromedary is another word for the Arabian Camel. Use it in some great camel puns, like this one: “It would really work for this pun if ‘camel’ was a palin-dromedary, but it just isn’t.”

Who f* → Hoof*: As in “Hoofeels hungry right now?” and “Hoofinished the last bit of coconut icecream?”, or “Hoofarted?”

Who’ve → Hoof: As in “Hoof you spoken to so far?”

Half → Hoof: As in “Is the glass hoof full or hoof empty?” and “My other/better hoof“

Run → Hoof it: As in “They’re onto us! Hoofit!”

Heard → Herd: As in “I overherd them speaking about …” and “The last I herd, …” and “You herd it here first”, “You could have herd a pin drop”, “Make yourself herd” and “Stop me if you’ve herd this one”.

Camera → Cama-ra: A cama is a hybrid between a male dromedary camel and a female llama. You might create a really corny pun with this: “This cama-ra was $2 off eBay.”

Camoflage → Camaflage: (Note: A cama is a hybrid between a male dromedary camel and a female llama.) “Their camaflage was brilliant. You wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference between them and a couple of real camels.”

(Note: A “ruminant” is a family of hooved mammals comprising cows, camels, sheep, deer, giraffe and their relatives)

Permanent → Pruminant: As in “I’ve accidentally used pruminant marker on the whiteboard.”

(Note: A “ruminant” is a family of hooved mammals comprising cows, camels, sheep, deer, giraffe and their relatives)

Her before → Herbivore: As in “I’ve never met herbivore.”

Man you’re → Manure: As in “Manure making some awful puns today.”

Could → Cud: As in “Cud you stop it please?” and “As fast as her legs cud carry her” and “I cud do it in my sleep.” Also works for “couldn’t” – as in, “I cudn’t see what the big deal was.”

Cud: In the right context, you could make an alpaca pun using the phrase “chewing the cud”, which means to chat aimlessly.

Withers → Withers: Withers is a homophone, meaning either the ridge between the shoulder blades of certain animals, or to shrivel. Swap the use and meaning of this word around to make a cheesy camel pun in the right context.

Whither → Wither: As in, “Wither are we bound?” (Note: Withers refers to the ridge between the shoulder blades of certain animals.)

Bunny Puns List

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on monkey puns! 🐒 This entry is specifically for monkeys and so you won’t find any ape related wordplay (chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas, etc.). Also note that this entry is a work-in-progress, so please share monkey puns that we don’t have in the comments! Thanks 🙂

Reese’s pieces → Rhesus pieces: The rhesus macaque is one of the most well-known “old-world” monkeys.

Cappuccino → Capuchino: The capuchin monkey is a well known species that has been used in many films and television series. A “cappuccino” is a common type of coffee of Italian origin.

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on elephant puns! 🐘 This entry is a work-in-progress. If you know of any puns about elephants that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page!

Elephant Puns List

Irrelevant → Irrelephant: This is probably the most famous elephant pun. Sentence examples: “Your comment is irrelephant” and “I don’t care. That’s irrelephant.”

Relevant → Relephant: As in “I don’t have a comment that is relephant to this discussion.”

Heard → Herd: As in “I overherd them speaking about …” and “The last I herd, …” and “Your herd it here first.” and “You could have herd a pin drop.” and “Stop me if you’ve herd this one”

Every → Ivory: As in “Ivory now and then” and “Ivory so often” and “Ivory bit as good as …” and “Ivory last inch” and “Ivory which where” and “Each and ivory one”

I very → Ivory: As in “Ivory much like you”

Everyone/Everybody → Ivoryone/Ivorybody: As in “Ivoryone and their dog” and “She has a good word for ivorybody“

Everything → Ivorything: As in “Drop ivorything” and “Money isn’t ivorything” and “Now I’ve seen ivorything” and “Ivorything under the sun”

I’ve already → Ivory-dy: As in “Ivory-dy explained it to you – I’m not explaining it again.”

Task → Tusk: As in “Are you up to the tusk?” and “It’s a thankless tusk” and “It’s hard to stay on tusk with all the noise” and “I’ve got a list of tusks that I need you to complete by the end of the day.”

Massive/Huge → Mammoth: Of course, a mammoth is not an elephant, but they’re closely associated with one another and so a mammoth pun may pass off as an elephant pun in the right context: “I’m completely full – that was a mammoth meal” and “A mammoth corporation”

Big: Simply using the word “big” with some corny emphasis may be a viable elephant pun: “So you know some elephant puns. BIG deal.”

(The) elephant in the room: This idiom refers to something obvious that has been intentionally ignored – usually due to embarrassment or awkwardness.

Seeing pink elephants: This is an idiom that mean “heavily intoxicated with alcohol”

White elephant: This is a phrase that is used to refer to a useless or unwanted object, especially if it is expensive.

(To) see the elephant: This is an idiom that is used to refer to “experiencing more than one wants to” or “learning a hard lesson” or “seeing combat, especially for the first time”

Weight / Ton / etc.: Since elephants weigh so much (they’re the largest non-extinct land animals), we may be able to play on this in the right context: “Thanks a ton!” and “Weight a minute…” and “A weight off my mind” and “Tons of (something)”

Trumpet: Elephants can make a loud sound that resembles a trumpet, and the word “trumpet” can also mean “proclaim widely or loudly” – e.g. “the team of British researchers trumpeted a major medical breakthrough”. In the right context you may be able to make a pun on this duel meaning/association.

Bull: A male elephant is called a “bull” (just like with bovine animals). Amongst an audience that is aware of this, you play on it: “A cock-and-bull story” and “Like a bull in a china shop” and “Bull-headed” and “Grab the bull by its horns” and “Full of bull” and “Bull’s-eye” and “Mess with the bull and you get the horns” and “Hung like a bull” and “Bull-headed” and “What a load of bull” and “Bullish (aggressively confident)” and “Like a red flag to a bull“

How → Cow: A female elephant is called a cow. “Cow could you?” and “Cow come?” and “Cow so?” and “Cow you doing?” and “Cow’s the family?” and “Cow dare you!” and “Cow about that.”

Cow: See the cow puns entry for more cow puns (e.g. cowoperation, accowntability).

Half → Calf: A young elephant is called a calf: “I’m expecting to lose calf of my readership because of these puns.” and “I’m still calf asleep” and “I’ve got calf a mind to …” and “Calf measures”

Trunk: Other than referring to an elephant’s long “nose”, this term can refer to the trunk of a tree or to the trunk of the body (the torso). These alternate definitions can be used for word play.

Pro-bosses→ Proboscis: This is another term for the elephants “nose” (and large noses of other mammals). Good luck on finding a context where this pun is useful 😛 Here’s an example sentence: “I’m not anti-bosses. They’re needed to run a company, but I’m not proboscis either.”

Grey/Gray: Elephants tend to have a greyish colour, and since this stereotype is well-known enough, a “grey” pun may pass off as a subtle elephant pun: “A grey area” and “Grey matter”

Wrinkles: Somehow mentioning “wrinkles” may be enough for a subtle elephant pun (since elephants are quire wrinkly) depending on your context. Some example sentences: “Let’s iron out the wrinkles in your argument.” and “There was a wrinkle in the proposal which stopped the project in its tracks”

Telephoned→ Telephant: As in “I telephant my niece to wish her happy birthday”

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on panda puns! 🐼 This list starts with puns specifically on the word “panda” and then also has a bunch of generic bear puns to back them up. Enjoy! 🙂

Panda Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about pandas that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s the list of panda puns:

Appendages → Appandages: As in “Four furry appandages that it uses for walking”

Suspenders → Suspandas: As in “I’ve got some suspandas to help keep my pants from slipping down”

Stupendous → Stupandas: As in “That was an incredibly impressive, nay, stupandas feat!”

Independent → Indepandant: As in “I love the feeling of indepandance” and “That’s an indepandant variable”

Panda bear → Punda bear

Bamboozle: To “bamboozle” someone is to fool or cheat them. Since pandas only eat bamboo, this is a simple bamboo/panda pun.

Her before → Herbivore: “I’ve never met herbivore.”

Try’na (Trying to) → China: “What are you China get from me?”

Black and white: Since pandas are black and white, you might get away with a panda pun that plays on this: “The issue isn’t black and white – there are many factors to consider.” and “They shot the film in black and white to get a noir feel.”

In danger → Endangered: Though it’s not really something to joke about, the Giant panda was once endangered (in 2016 it was downgraded to “vulnerable”). You might slip in the word “endangered” wherever you can (e.g. in place of “in danger” or similar) to make a cheeky panda pun.

Bear: Now we get into some general puns about bears (and not specifically pandas): “Bear with me.” and “I can’t bear this anymore.” and “I will bear the responsibility for this.” and “Child-bearing.” and “Will you bear this luggage across the river for me?” and “Does this tree bear fruit?”

Bearings: “Just let me get my bearings.”

Bearer: “I hate to be the bearer of bad news.”

Barbarian → Barbearian: “He thinks he’s Conan the Barbearian.”

Barbaric → Barbearic: “Their behaviour is barbearic.”

Bare → Bear: “The landscape is bear.”

Barefoot → Bearfoot: “We’ll have to walk bearfoot.”

Barefaced → Bearfaced: “A bearfaced lie.”

Barely → Bearly: “I can bearly stand another of your puns.”

Baritone → Bearitone: “We’ll need another bearitone for the chorus.”

Barium → Bearium: “Bearium is a chemical element.”

Baron → Bearon: “The bearon will see you now.”

Baroness → Bearoness: “The bearoness controls most of this territory.”

Barricade → Bearicade: “We’ll need to bearicade these doors.”

Barrier → Bearier: “This industry has a high bearier-to-entry.”

Barrister → Bearister: “They’ve hired very good bearisters.”

Bearable: “The music is the only thing that makes this party bearable.”

Bearings: “The axle needs new bearings.”

Burial → Bearial: “This is an ancient bearial site.”

Buried → Bearied: “We bearied the chest on the beach,”

Bury → Beary: “She was bearied in thought.”

Cadbury → Cadbeary: “Cadbeary should bring out a dairy-free line.”

Childbearing: “This grizzly is of childbearing age.”

Embarrass → Embearass: “Oh, I’m so embearassed!”

Embarrassment → Embearassment: “This evening has been a complete embearassment.”

Embarrassing → Embearassing: “Oh, how embearassing!”

Forbearance: “He’s very annoying. It will require patient forbearance.”

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on koala puns! 🐨 This entry starts with some koala-specific puns and also has some general bear puns which should pass off as koala puns in the right context. Enjoy!

Koala Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about koala that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s the list of koala puns:

Joy → Joey: A baby koala (like a baby kangaroo) is called a “joey”, and thus we might make a tenuous pun with “joy”: “My pride and joey” and “Joey to the world” and “Joey rider” and “Jump for joey” and “A bundle of joey“

I see → Aussie: Since koalas only exist in Australia, a pun like this might be a viable koala pun in the right context: “Aussie what you did there” and “Aussie dead people” and “Aussie what you mean.”

Try → Tree: Koalas live in trees and rarely come down to the ground, so tree puns may be viable koala puns depending on the situation: “I’m treeing my hardest” and “Don’t tree this at home” and “Nice tree, pal” and “Tree your luck at this”

Mum’ll (Mum will) → Mammal: Good luck finding a sentence or context to make this koala pun work!

Leave → Leaf: Since a koala’s diet consists entirely of leaves (eucalyptus leaves, to be more specific), some leaf puns may pass off as koala puns in the right context: “Take it or leaf it” and “Absent without leaf” and “You should leaf now.” and “Leaf an impression” and “Leafed for dead” and “Leaf it at that” and “Leaf me alone!” and “Leaf of absence” and “Leaf out in the cold” and “Take leaf” and “Leafing so soon?”

Bear: The term “bear” itself has many different meanings other than the one which refers to the animal. These can all be used for puns: “Bear with me.” and “I can’t bear this anymore.” and “I will bear the responsibility for this.” and “Child-bearing.” and “Will you bear this luggage across the river for me?” and “Does this tree bear fruit?”

Bearings: “Just let me get my bearings.”

Bearer: “I hate to be the bearer of bad news.”

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on pig puns! 🐖 🐷 This entry is shorter than average and thus is a work-in-progress. Please feel free to contribute any pig puns that we’ve missed in the comments at the bottom of the page – we’d appreciate it! 🙂

Side note: You might notice that there’s no bacon puns, pork puns or any puns that involve piggeries. If you’re wondering why there are no jokes, puns or idioms about these specific things, please learn about the cruelty involved in growing pigs for meat (information, graphic video).

Pig Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about pigs that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s the list of pig puns:

Hog: “Stop hogging all the food!” and “Give me some! You’re such a hog.” and “Go hog wild” and “He’s a ball hog who doesn’t know what teamwork means.” and “The road hog was straddling 2 lanes.” and “We went whole hog“

Nonsense → Hogwash: As in “That’s utter hogwash and you know it.”

Bore → Boar: As in “Boared out of my brains” and “Boared to tears/death” and “Boar someone stiff” and “Boar the pants off someone” and “Boared silly” and “Boared out of my mind” and “They boared a hole with the drill”

Hug → Hog: “A bear hog” and “Hogs and kisses”

Whine → Swine: As in “Stop swining! We’re nearly there.”

*s wine → *s swine: As in “How much for a bottle of this swine?”

Swain → Swine: A man who is a women’s lover is sometimes (especially in literature) called a “swain”. In the right context this could be used for a pig pun.

Piggy bank: This is a small container for saving money in, especially one that is shaped like a pig with a coin slot in its back.

Piggy in the middle: This refers to “someonewho is betweentwopeople or groupswho arearguingbutwhodoesnotwant to agreewith either of them.“

Picky → Piggy: As in “I’m really piggy when it comes to choosing what to wear.”

Pigment / Pigmentation

Person → Porcine: The term “porcine” means “relating to or resembling a pig or pigs”. Some phrases/idioms: “I’m a morning porcine” and “I’m not a people porcine” and “Couldn’t have happened to a nicer porcine” and “I feel like a new porcine” and “Porcine of interest” and “A porcine is known by the company they keep” and “We met in-porcine” and “A cat porcine” and “It varies from porcine to porcine“

Grant → Grunt: As in “Taken for grunted” and “To grunt someone something” and “Don’t take anything for grunted” and “Grunt no quarter”

Wallow: “Wallowing in self-pity” and “Wallowing in money” and “Wallowing in my fame”

Scream/Cry → Squeal

Who f* → Hoof*: As in “Hoofeels hungry right now?” and “Hoofinished the last bit of coconut icecream?”

Walk → Hoof it: As in “We missed the bus and had to hoof it home.”

Tamed → Domesticated: You might be able to make a pig pun by replacing words like “tamed”, “calmed down” and similar words/phrases with “domesticated”.

Sow: A “sow” (the “ow” is pronounced like the “ou” in “ouch”) is a female pig. To “sow” (pronounced like “so”) is to plant seeds in the soil. Since these two words are spelled the same, you can make some silly pig puns: “As you sow, so shall you reap” and “Sow one’s wild oats” and “Sow the seeds of (something)” and “You reap what you sow“

So → Sow: Since “sow” is pronounced like “s-ow” and not “s-oh”, this is a corny one: “Sow what?” and “I’m afraid sow” and “And sow on and sow forth” and “Even sow, …” and “Ever sow (soft/happy/friendly/etc.)” and “I hope sow” and “How sow?” and “I guess sow” and “I told you sow!” and “Not sow fast” and “Sow much for” and “Sow to speak” and “Sow long as”

Guilt → Gilt: A “gilt” is a young female pig. Some phrases/idioms: “Gilt trip” and “Gilt complex” and “Absolved from gilt” and “Send someone on a gilt trip”

It’s not → It’s snout: As in “It’s snout my kind of event” and “It’s snout as if …”

Root: Wild pigs are known for eating roots and tubers, so the words “root” or “rooted” (and similar) may be viable pig puns: “I’m rooting for you!” and “The root cause” and “Idleness is the root of all evil” and “Root around (for something)” and “The root of the problem”

Babe: The film “Babe” is likely famous enough that the use of the word (e.g. as a term of endearment for one’s partner, or in reference to an attractive person) will probably pass off as a pig pun.

Bristle: Wild pigs have stiff hairs covering a lot of their body that are called bristles. This has some potential for a subtle pig pun: “Bristling with rage” and “Bristle with indignation” and “The shopping centre bristled with hurried Christmas shoppers.”

Showed → Shoat: A “shoat” is a young pig.

Do rock → Duroc: A “duroc” is a breed of large, reddish American pigs.
